Thank you for your query. I finally ditched Karmic and newly installed Jaunty kubuntu 32bit. I had way too many problems with audio, in Karmic, which I need in my work. I fear for the direction of Ubuntu as a distro. I left Fedora and the rpm world, after being a loyal Red Hat user and later as an employee, for as long as they have been around. Ubuntu is doing the very same thing that Fedora was guilty of, but at least Fedora was upfront about being a testbed of beta half-baked softwares. The helluvit is that I don't know what distro to turn to. I just need stable. I just need to use my computer, and to convince the State of North Carolina to use Linux for our prison re-entry program. But, routine updates routinely breaks things that worked. At least with Jaunty it's pretty calm, but packages are no longer being updated. I'm merely disappointed, and not a sorehead. Mark Shuttleworth promised a stable platform, but there are devels out there that want to push the envelope. I merely want the "Right Thing" and for Ubuntu to carry that banner. Thanks again for your inquiry. Ric -- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
